    Antique Double Bale Handle Naval Rum Keg, Grog Cask, or Water Barrel
    The barrel was meant to hold either whiskey, spirits/liquor, wine, rum, or rain water. These casks were sometimes referred to as "field barrels" during the Civil War years and were always found hanging below Union Ambulance Wagons. Were also used well into the 19th/20th centuries as critical required equipment on Naval lifeboats.
    Medium-Light Patina Oak Wood Body with Galvanized Metal Rings. Handcrafted with double bale handle, side spigot hole and brass bung hole on the top, 6 galvanized metal bands and feet that ward off rusting in salt water.
    Good vintage condition with moderate signs of stress, age and wear.
    Size = 20 inches long, 12 inches Tall, 15 inches wide
